How to add a game

To add a game to the wiki type "http://speeddemosarchive.com/kb/index.php/Game_Name_Here" (without the quotes) in your browser's url bar. You will be told the game doesn't exist, and you can edit/create the page by clicking edit in the row of tabs near the top of the page.

IMPORTANT: Insert [[Category:Games]] and [[Category:consolethegameison]] into your game page, or else your page will not appear on the games and consoles list!.

Games

This section is for games and series. If you're writing about a series of games, then add (series) to the right of the game name. Writing for series of games only works if the games share similar engines such as Metal Slug and Mega Man X 1-3 (or 4-6).

The games list

Organized by console

Engines

This section is for games sharing a similar engine (Unreal, Infinity).

If you're confused about what this means, Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale fall into this category because they both share the same engine, the Infinity engine; despite being different games, they both use the same engine, and therefore many similar tricks can be exploited. However, Mario games do not fall into this category. Even though games such as SMB 1-3 are all in the same series and for NES, the engine is different in each game, and thus tricks in one game cannot be applied to another.
